Canelo is not in talks with Eubank and has no plans to face him
That according to manager Eddy Reynoso, who spoke to Fight Freaks Unite, shooting down stories coming out of the U.K.

Unified super middleweight champion and pound-for-pound star Canelo Alvarez is not negotiating a fight with Chris Eubank Jr. and has no interest in facing him, despite recent comments to the contrary from Boxxer promoter Ben Shalom, who represents Eubank.
Eddy Reynoso, Alvarez’s manager and trainer — and the man Alvarez has left the decision to on who he fights throughout his career — told Fight Freaks Unite on Wednesday that there are no discussions about the fight and there won’t be.
“It’s totally false,” Reynoso said. “Eubank had his chance to fight Canelo in September and the only thing he did was complicate the negotiations. We will not touch base with him again for a future fight! Whatever I tell you is always true! I don’t like making statements but what I declare is true.”
